No. New combination of Pacemaker and OpenAIS certainly contribute quality of the Pacemaker up, and it is good for Heartbeat too. I just want to know current and future situation and to know what the best way is for us. Again, there are no definite conventions and rules how each software module should be divided. It depends on the product and project. It's apparently up to developers, not me. My understanding in the discussion so far is as follows: 1) Pacemaker is provided to both of Heartbeat and OpenAIS. 2) Pacemaker will be released after sedulous test with Heartbeat as well as OpenAIS. 3) Pacemaker will accept any beneficial change from Heartbeat and OpenAIS community. Is it correct above?
